Heardle is the Wordle for pop songs

Source: Heardle

If you pride yourself on your knowledge of pop music and love the Wordle format, you might want to try out Heardle. The game will give you six tries to guess a pop song from the "list of the most streamed songs in the past decade." You are given extended song snippets to figure out what it is, which you'll need to hit skip to hear more. And it gets that similar sharing feature of Wordle, so you can brag about your pop music knowledge on social media. Heardle pulls its songs from Soundcloud, so they shouldn't, as The Verge put it, "get DMCA'd off the internet" for using pop song clips.

One-hundred ninety gigabytes of Samsung's confidential data might have been reportedly leaked due to a suspected cyberattack. On Friday, South American hacking group Lapsus$, the same group who claimed responsibility for a recent NVIDIA data breach, uploaded a trove of data it claims came from Samsung. It reportedly contains bootloader source code for all of the company's recent devices, including code related to highly-sensitive features like on-device encryption and biometric authentication. It also supposedly includes confidential data from Qualcomm.

Samsung says it is assessing the situation. The hacker group hasn't made any demands from the company, unlike the NVIDIA breach. Lapsus$ demanded that NVIDIA open source its drivers and remove the cryptocurrency mining limiter from its RTX 30-series GPUs.

Dropbox finally optimizes app for M1 computers

The update was a long time coming, but it's finally here. Dropbox has released version 143.4.4161 of its app to support the Apple Silicon platform, which is the basis of the M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max chips. The company says its users don't have to do anything from their end. The update will arrive automatically to their apps. 

When an app runs natively on Apple Silicon, it allows them to take full advantage of the M1 chip and its variants. If you're a MacBook user, it uses less power, resulting in longer battery life for your laptops.
